In the rush of horse-race polls, we didn't have a chance to catch up with a Pew Research Center report - perhaps made more timely by Hillary Clinton's run for President this year - onwho makes the better leader - a man or a woman?

That title perhaps overshadows the whole answer because what the study says is that Americans believe women have the "right stuff" to be political leaders, they still have not achieved positions of influence and power proportionate to their numbers. As the study notes, women make up 17 percent of members of the House, 16 percent of Senators, 16 percent of governors and 24 percent of state legislators.

The survey, conducted June 16 to July 16, says 61 percent say men and women make equally good politically leaders, with 21 percent saying men are better and 6 percent saying that of women.
